There’s nothing quite like your home turf, er, track. The Herders hosted the Tony Lehner/Al Finch Invitational last weekend and found success with both squads.
On the girls’ side, junior Isabella Taylor continued to dominate the short sprints, winning the 100- and 200-meter dashes and put that quick acceleration to good use with a win in the long jump. Freshman Gracie Sixby earned her first win in the triple jump, and those two teamed up to lead a 4x100 relay team that included Summer Schumacher and Megann Farley to a win and a state-qualifying time.
Senior James Halvorsen took home his second gold of the season in the 3,200-meter run, and fellow senior Bryce Schumacher answered Taylor with a gold of his own in the long jump.
The Herders travel to Burns on Thursday for a 9 a.m. interclass meet.
